Homeopathy

People choose to try Homeopathy for many reasons.

Mostly they are dissatisfied with the effect of treatment they are getting from conventional medicine. Either it isn’t working, or the side effects of the medication are more unpleasant than the disease symptoms.

In some cases, people have had investigations and been given a diagnosis, but are then told there isn’t any treatment, they just have to wait till they get better on their own.

Homeopathy is pleasant to take and very safe, it can be taken during pregnancy and given to small babies and children. In most cases it can be taken alongside conventional treatments.

What is Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a 200-year-old system of medicine that involves treating the individual with highly diluted natural substances (given mainly in tablet form), which triggers the body’s natural system of healing. Rather than trying to sort out a problem by purely treating the symptoms, homeopathy looks at why you are suffering from the symptoms in the first place. Giving the body naturally what it needs to fight an infection or to improve health brings long-term health benefits, not just a quick fix.

Homeopathy is an individualised prescription that causes a reaction in the patient, this reaction cures the patient.

Dr Samuel Hahnemann founded the system of medicine that is now called Homeopathy because he was unhappy with the results he was getting with the drugs he had available at that time. He decided to investigate the therapeutic effect of Peruvian Bark which was used in the successful treatment of Malaria. He researched on himself and colleagues and demonstrated that the healing effect resulted from the Law of Similars.

He continued investigating the action of other substances and kept meticulous records of his research. When he started to use his new knowledge on his patients he found he got less side effects and quicker results when he diluted and potentised the substance. We continue to use his methods today and, unlike research in other disciplines the results we get today explain what Hahnemann witnessed, rather than disprove it.

More Info and Support on Homeopathy

Using Hahnemann's methods, substances are processed by the Homeopathic Pharmacies in a way to make them safe and effective to use for all ages, including children, pregnant women and even animals. I find that Helios Pharmacy who have branches in Tunbridge Wells and Covent Garden provide an excellent service.

You may have heard that there is no research to prove homeopathy works, however, you can see a list of the research done in homeopathy since 1940, by visiting the database at the Homeopathy Research Institute website.
